What are the military security derivative classifications?

Military security derivative classifications refer to the categorization of information derived from classified sources that retains its sensitivity and requires protection. These classifications are typically based on the original classification's level, such as "Top Secret," "Secret," or "Confidential." Information may be marked as derivative if it is based on classified material but does not itself originate from a classified source. This system ensures that sensitive information remains protected while allowing for necessary access and sharing within authorized personnel.
